This Is Mind Blowing!

[Radioactiv]

Our planet is microscopic.

Imagine how big creatures would be if there were planets of this scale....

 

[godsarmor]

DAMN just makes me appreciate how fkn awesome the world is wish i could explore all of that

 

[droodles]

Now I really feel like i can't make a difference. I hope there is a demotivational poster using this. Oh well, I can still make a difference in my life with my MK VI helmet.

It makes you literally feel like nothing.
And keep going on your Mark VI, I haven't seen updates lately...

I mean, just try to imagine just bacteria living on a planet the size of that star, and how it's bigger than our own sun.
Or something like that.

Well you also can't forget that, by the laws of physics, we could be what single celled organisms are to us, to things much larger than us.

The universe is just a giant petri dish being observed by non-carbon based life forms that are far larger than anything we could possibly image in our standards. While they are just trying to figure out a cure for the common cold.

 

[Radioactiv]

I know it's really crazy, I mean it gets so big, I get a bad headache trying to comprehend how big that star actually is, I feel microscopic literally. >_<

Imagine how big creatures would be if there were planets of this scale....

Try 10X the size of dinosaurs if there was a favorable planet that met all the requirements to reach this. There are a lot of other things involved in indigenous flora and fauna than just scale. If there was a planet the size of beetlegeuse without as high of an oxygen content as out planet then there might not be much more than small animals dwelling there. However, our planet has gone through several eras with very high oxygen and CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere. The higher the oxygen, the bigger the insects got until some were the size of cars and could easily eat you. The higher the CO2 levels got, the trees got incredibly huge and the dinosaurs evolved into massive beasts in order to eat off of the trees.

On other planets, here's a possibility: there was one concept of an environment where the atmosphere was so dense that humans could not breathe on its surface, even though the climate was close to tropical in temperature and plant life. You could walk around in a T-shirt because of the O2 levels being high but you could not breathe the air. As a result of this dense atmosphere and the lack of seas on this world, Indigenous life actually evolved to swim through the air. There were whale sized animals and other smaller ones in this simulation that were similar in design to the creatures of our oceans in that they sported very "buoyant" streamlined bodies that allowed them to steer and navigate the skies. Wings needed not exist because of the density of the air on this particular planet.

On the other side of things, people once believed that the moon was an actual habitable environment They had already surmised that the planet was smaller and therefore had less gravity and in one story called The Dream, the author described a dream that he had where he flew to the moon and witnessed all types of strange creatures in a strange almost tropical environment. The creatures grew to enormous heights because of the low gravity.

We are currently figuring out what it is to live in space and if our species survives the next million years it might be possible that we would have 4 different sub species of humans if we do not alter the gravity in our environments. Ones that live on Earth that look just like you and me, ones that live on the moon that are taller with lighter bone density who would have problems staying on earth for long periods of time, ones that live on Mars that have a similar build to those on the moon but are a bit shorter (mars has slightly stronger gravity), and those that live in space who have incredibly over developed upper bodies with long muscular arms and underdeveloped lower bodies due to the absence of gravity in deep space; they could not walk on any planet because of the way that they had developed in a zero gravity environment, their bones and insides would be most likely be crushed or they would experience circulatory problems in a gravity environment.

Weird stuff to think about...

 

[Radioactiv]

Wow, may I now officially call this 405th's most mind blowing topic? XD
That theory on humans sounds really cool, I wish that I could see how humans would be IF we survive that long.

Carl Sagan put it best.

 

[JangoFett140]

and things will only get bigger........

 

[jawshwaa]

all of a sudden i dont feel like my problems have that big an impact on the universe....well my universe any ways..

thanx for putting things into perspective for me
(so small)

 

[box o crayons]

wow and i thought the sun was big..... oops bit mistake bow down to VY Canis Majoris :not worthy:

 

[Reventorghini]

This is why I laugh at people who say there is no more life in the universe. This is also why I'm a huge space nerd.

You want something really mind blowing though? Try reading a book by Stephen Hawking.

 

[Spartan 270]

Wow, that is...just...mind blowing. Lol, nothing else can describe it. When I saw the pic that said Our sun compared to VY Canis Majoris, I was looking at the screen and thought to myself, "Ok, it says our sun, so where's the dot?" That vid made me think of one of Steven Hawking's theories. Ah, I can't remember what it was called. But it had something to do like the universe looks like an atom or something, and our universe is just like an atom that is like part of some bigger thing. And universes are like atoms. And like, our universe is just an atom that seems "big" to us, but could be part of something bigger. It went something like that. I'm not entirely sure. I just remember my physics teacher rambling on about that theory.

You might be thinking of String Theory, though my physics are a little rusty since I haven't had anything physics related on the mind recently. One of Hawking's colleagues came up with this though, not him.

 

[the stig]

That's somehow Scary...

 

[S1l3nt V1p3r]

With this thread we can't POSSIBLY be the only sentient species out there in the universe. This really gets your mind thinking, doesn't it?

H£ll ya! This is so "mind blowing" that u cant even try to make a thred more mid blwing.

And we ALL know, that in some hundred years, we have many stronghold, like "Reach" and so on. And that the human spieces have migrated to many places... This future can come sooner, if those scientists could just invent the "stardrive" or somthing like that (dont remeber the exact name) but ya know what im talking about! That thing that makes it posible for our shapceships to travel thrue space!

And this time... lets dont get TO suprised when we find another alien race, thats whant to kill us, and lets not underestimate it either... well, thats like, all i had to say..............not that it makes any diffrend in a universe this big... but anyway!

You know people already have a lot of subspecies right? They're called races. We just don't say subspecies because it's not PC. What you're describing would be real separate species instead of subspecies. They would still be people (humans) but not homo sapiens

 

[rundown]

Haha coincedence. I have an exam about that tommorrow

alot of big giants. (red)
giants(orange)
and the white-blue thing (white dwarfs)
